Water temp is still too cold. May be another couple if weeks.
Where did you buddy go, btw?
25-04-2022, 12:24 AM
Hyannis. Other buddies went last night and the bite is trickling in but not lights out yet.

How long can squid be in. A bucket with out ice ?
25-04-2022, 08:04 AM
Less than 2 hours otherwise they become bait .

To avoid a long explanation . I once was a licensed wholesale seafood HAACP certified wholesale seafood truck dealer you really dont want to screw around with incorrectly maintained mollusks ð¤®

Your main concern is how long can they be over 45 F so for instance if you have roughly 45 F saltwater readily available ð then fill the bucket with that .
Now for varsity technique squid holding without a Yeti cooler get a smallish trash can and two 5 gallon buckets . go to home depot paint department to and get one screw on bucket top put the bucket with the top into the other bucket then drill a bunch of small holes in that top bucket ( why later ) then go to the wal mart camping aisle and get a 5 gallon dry bag then any supermarket for ice and KOSHER ( NOT NOT NOT Iodized ) salt or your squid will turn Brownish Yellow . Crush the ice .. Everything including the kosher salt goes in the smallish trash can then the dry bag goes into the ice salt mix ( which now is a bit colder than 32 f by the way ) Catch squid put in bucket with top and holes on bucket without holes Ink drips into bottom bucket . save the ink boil pasta in the ink later repeat .. squid squid squid and so forth when done put squid in dry bag . wash in ocean rinse out two buckets put dry bag and some ice in bucket without holes oops better buy 3 buckets and 2 screw on tops put ice and dry bag into clean dry unsquiddish darn awfully watertight screw top bucket but bucket on footwell of BMW , Mercedes , Audi , Lexus etc.. ( unless you happen to own a pickup then obviously leave it in the bed ) drive home Squid are still sushi ( not that you would but ya could ) quality . nice car is still nice Last suggestion transfer ink into plastic bottle then store in refrigerator for a few days if necessary or freeze into squidsicles until you need them .

No problem happy to help . My new F-150 just arrived on the lot and my engine work is done . Ill be on Hyannis this weekend .

Mello, too much work. Most nights will be down in the lower 40s and your squid will be just fine in a bucket for several hours at least. Same temp as a refrigerator, they will be alright.

Good Luck catching squid everyone.

The Mass Maritime Academy on the West end of the Canal has a live canal cam of the bottom. We might be able to see thew squid when they arrive on it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OZDVk0PnNQ

A long time ago when I went to college there, you could catch so many squid by the ship. Not allowed anymore with security.

Saw an 'inked up' boat headed towards Hyannis a day ago. Anybody testing the waters around Colliers yet?
28-04-2022, 08:52 AM
I havent heard of anyone trying it yet. I already have the boat setup to head out there tho ð¤£

Anyone been out to Hyannis yet? If so, any news on the bite?
I know people that have been getting them on-cape from shore but theyre not in thick yet.
